Year End Blog

My most enjoyable English 20-1 project that I did this year was the film presentation. This film presentation was pretty enjoyable because I and Connor could both use a movie that we both watched and enjoyed, unlike usual English projects, it is mandatory to watch a movie given by the teacher and this is why it was really enjoyable, the choices were endless and using a movie that you actually like is really fun. This project was pretty appealing because every student could deliver its own opinion during the many presentations so that they could mark them for nominations. This project was really interesting because we could see every group of student’s different opinions of which movie deserved to be the best movie of all time. Also, the other enjoyable thing about this movie presentation was that the winners of the nominations got awards, because usual projects students only get rewarded with marks. My least favorite thing from this whole year was the story “The Road” written by Cormac McCarthy. This story was pretty boring because the whole book was different from other regular and the story characters were pretty annoying. The story line was pretty difficult to understand because there were so many things happening at all times and the story was also depressing. What I really hated about this book was how the story line, the characters and details were really dull. Any other author could make the story better. The thing that I wouldn’t mind doing again but I would change it slightly would be the movie presentation. The reason why I enjoyed making that presentation was because we chose the movie that we wanted which means it was pretty entertaining. The thing I would change about this project would be how we could watch the movies presented in the last three days of the year and all group that got nominated would get an award but as valuable as the ones who actually won the nominations.

Springbreak 2015

This year in spring break, i went to Hawaii for the first time of my life. I stayed at Kona in Big Island for 10 days. When I first stepped out of the airplane, my opinion about the landscape was negative because the whole ground and land on the area was filled magma, so everything was black, also the air was extremely humid so I had to get used to it for a couple of hours. I wasn't happy until I saw the condo were I stayed at. It had pretty much two golf courses and we could walk to beach if we wanted to. Speaking of beaches, me and my family visited different beaches every day. Some of them were public, but others were on private hotels and we needed to get passes to be allowed to go on them. Mexico is nothing compared to Hawaii because in Hawaii, you can visit the whole island and being able to drive through without seeing cops with machine guns and assault rifles. I played an 18 holes round of golf one day and it was magnificent. The course was right next to the beach and had the view of the Big Island mountains. On one of the private beaches I saw a whale at the shore line. There was one beach that was called aquarium beach because it was literally like an aquarium when you would go snorkeling in there. On that same beach I also saw two turtles laying down on the ground.  We were supposed to go see lava during night one time but they didn't allow people with heart problems in it because of the smoke that was produced from the lava. We actually visited some falls and the whole Island in car so most of the land was actually tropical. If I could describe Hawaii in two words, it would be freedom and safety.

New Year's Resolution

                Every December the 31^st people tell me about New Year’s resolutions and are trying to come up with one. A New Year’s resolution is something that you hope/ wish that is going to happen. It could be about improving some skills you have, wishing everyone a healthy year… Usually my resolutions are about improving some of my skills, for example, somebody could ask me “What’s your New Year’s resolution?” and I respond by saying I could work hard for the year passing by. Usually it is about either improving my golf swing or improving my term marks in school. Personally, I do not believe in New Year’s resolution because I usually tend to forget, or that they never last. I have ever heard someone talk to me about how successful their resolution were. When people eventually ask me about my New Year’s resolution, it is at 12:01 in the night of December 31^st, how am I supposed to decide that fast what my resolution for New Year’s would be? I just have brain farts when I am right in front someone and they ask me the question, I only say “get better marks I guess”. For the resolutions, every year I tend to forget them at either, the end or the middle of the year, thus, this why I do not believe in the resolutions. But other than not believing in resolution I just believe that the sports teams that I supports might win at least one trophy, for example Arsenal F.C. to win the Premier League, the Roughnecks winning the NLL title, Patriots winning the Super Bowl etc… In conclusion, people and New Year’s Resolution either believe them and work the whole following year to complete them or they just ignore the new years and live their life normally.

So tired that everything becomes hilariously hilarious

It was 1:30AM in the morning. We had been working on the annual science fair project since 9:15 PM (because we had so much homework). Our project was about if plants will grow faster with classical music and grow slower with rock music. Me my classmate have been working on this project for weeks. But since this was the final day to do the project, we decided to put everything into it to get the perfect mark. We took some coffee at 10:30 PM, when we were still "awake" we learned our texts and presentation by heart. We finally finished our projects at two o clock in the morning. We drank at least four cups of coffee, but that wasn't enough. After the coffee lasted long enough, I was so tired that I couldn't even spell my own name right! I found that so hilarious that i was laughing uncontrollably. My classmate didn't understand why I was laughing so hard, but he didn't cared and joined the laughter chain, anyways. First came the tears, I was laughing for about five minutes straight and came the tears of laughter, my friend only laughed for one minute and I knew the same effects would come to him. The tears came in, and even thinking about them made me laugh. I was laughing so hard and uncontrollably that the coughs came in, my friend also started to cry of laughter. We thought that we were going to wake the whole neighborhood by laughing so loudly and I became worried that we were going to literally die of laughter. I was coughing so much that my stomach became to ache. Unfortunately, we woke my parents up and they wondered what the heck was going on. We told them we didn't understand why we were laughing so hard. My mother looked at the time and understood everything. She said that it was very common and told us it was time to go to bed. This will be for sure one of the most memorable experiences I had with my friend. Awesome!

A deliciously sport campnight

It is a late, cold Saturday night in the Banff National Park. This night will be the last night you might enjoy camping with two of your best friends, because tomorrow is the day you are leaving this place. Since it is cold outside, you and your friends decide to light a campfire on and cook dinner with it, to enjoy the precious amount of time left. After looking in your backpacks for fifteen minutes, you finally found sausages with roasting sticks, and your friend found marshmallows with crackers and chocolate in it. A complete campfire dinner! You take the roasting sticks and slowly turn the sausages you put on and wait for the perfectly burnt sausage. After savoring this greatly cooked sausage, you finally decide to eat the desert you have been waiting for all day. S'mores. After using the roasting sticks for sausages, you use it to cook marshmallows on the fire. You slowly spin this perfectly golden brown marshmallow and take delicious bites out of it. Dinner is finished! Later on in the night, after cleaning the sticks in the good ol' sink, you and your friends decide to come back to your campfire and smell the warm breeze and smell the smoke and air create together.The atmosphere was too "thin" in the campground so one of your best friends decided to get his portable radio and listen too any kind of sports game anyone would like to listen. There was a Boston Red Sox game playing and also a Chicago Bulls game. By deciding which sport the group wanted to listen too, you and your friend decided to use the heads and tails game. "Heads" was for the Red Sox game, and "Tails" was for the Bulls game. You pick up a one dollar coin from your wallet, flick it carefully in the air while your friends are staring at the coin nervously, put it in your palm. Your friends finally decide the result by watching you picking the coin out of your palm. It is the Red Sox game you are listening to tonight! It has been 7:00 PM since you had decided to listen to a sports game, the game is in the 9th inning and the team you and your friends have been cheering for the whole night have won the first game of the World Series at 9:00 PM. After this entertaining radio show, your friend takes the radio, puts it back into his backpack. Later on, everyone goes back to their own tent and sneak in your comfortable sleeping bag, which announces it is the end of the memorable camping trip with your friends.
